  SCULPTING CINEMA - BOOK LAUNCH

  Pleasure Dome is pleased to announce the launch of its newest publication, Sculpting Cinema (Ed. Melanie Wilmink & Solomon Nagler).

  Saturday, November 24 3:00 pm John H. Daniels Faculty of Architecture, Landscape, and Design – University of Toronto, Room 230 – 1 Spadina Crescent, Toronto, ON.

  Books will be available for $20 each, cash only.

  Sculpting Cinema documents the intersections of sculpture, architecture, performance, installation art, and expanded cinema within contemporary Canadian art. Through seven pieces of writing and two artists' projects, a selection of scholars and creatives from across the country have explored the ways that cinema flows off the screen and into physical space. The book embodies this thematic content through a creative design, making it an attractive collectors' object and critical discourse simultaneously. Each copy of this limited-edition run contains unique photo-emulsion prints by Solomon Nagler and Angela Henderson, and the overall design by Jayme Spinks uses creative layout and typography to convey the “feeling” of cinema through the format of a printed book. Sculpting Cinema considers how cinema has moved beyond the black box in an aesthetically-driven format that is scholarly, but also accessible to general interest readers who wish to learn more about these artworks.

  Authors and artists included are Harry Vandervlist, Melanie Wilmink, Zoë Heyn-Jones, Carmen Victor, Angela Henderson & Solomon Nagler, Tom Kohut, Collin Zipp, Shana MacDonald, and Pierre Hébert.

  This publication was produced through the support of the Canada Council for the Arts, Media Arts Initiatives Grant.
